Eat My Blog Recap: December 2009

The Eat My Blog planning committee, along with our chief supporter Vernon Chaplin, arrived at Zeke’s Smokehouse two hours before game time. Before the crowds rolled in, we did what needed to be done—platters were dolled up with cute wrapping paper, donated boxes were assembled, and each treat was given a hand-crafted name tag and price.

About an hour before showtime, we started to lay out the irresistible spread. Thirty-six square feet of surface area wasn’t enough to display all of the wonderful creations we received.

From bacon-wrapped bread sticks to butterscotch budino, the diversity, quality, and uniqueness of the treats on hand was phenomenal. Each participating blogger put a lot of heart, soul, and time into crafting a delight that would please the eye and rock the taste buds.

There was so much yummy stuff there, and I’m wondering what the will of the snacking public is: Should we make the same stuff to sell in June that we made in December–which by all accounts was QUITE popular–or should we unveil some new creations?

We’ll leave it up to you–make whatever moves you! I made whoopie pies last time, and I think I may make something different for the next one. I’m thinking my grandmother’s blueberry coffee cake. Do you have any ideas about what you”ll make?

Hmm, still trying to figure that one out. I’d like to say “all of the above” but that’s probably a bit ambitious. Then there’s that part of me that just wants to bring a giant fryer & cook bacon on the spot!
